Mark have you looked at the disability/mobility shops to see if they have anything. The one I used online for a scooter has household tools for arthritis but not mechanical. What they do though are handles to bulk out what you fit them to. Doing something like that may help on some things...

I don’t really know what the factory decals look like but van looks okay to me, not modified. The black looks like it should be there as well. What I am meaning is it looks factory done 👍

Not sure if I posted at the time but one day last week I thought my controller had died. Since fitting the battery monitor I tend to look at my phone rather than checking the solar display. Anyway the display was showing 0.0 amps (I usually work by amps) at around 11 in the morning with wall to...

Ha ha I thought the same, I had to pack up as I couldn’t work outside any more

Do you have any bus/HGV places near you, they may have something?

I notice in dash pics your Sprinter has vanes missing in the air vents, has he tried printing them?

This just shows how noise affects people differently. I think my compressor frudge is quiet but some post they are too noisy, my DT4 did sound like a jet engine close up before I fitted I take and exhaust silencers but it didn’t bother me and anyone close never complained so I don’t know. I say...

Looking at that Pic you could probably fit linear actuators if you aren’t stuck on hydraulic. I only posted the link as they probably supply parts for self fit and if so they may also give advice. they certainly have suspension on busses and coaches now that drop entrances to floor level for...

Welcome to the site 👍

Nigel has done it in his post hasn’t he? linear actuators would be good but retro fitting wouldn’t be easy I suspect, you would need to have them built up inside the body. Length with them would stop it I think but they are real good. Two stage hydraulic rams I reckon but as I said only really...

That may be the reason, not really awake enough yet so was rambling a bit :) saying that though it should be substantially lower cost and add a locking system???

My merc has two foot holes (for want of better words) built into the front. It’s a bit of a stretch but I can get all I need from them. Not as nimble as Phil and would definitely need an ambulance with cabin roof ha ha

Can’t help at all except I have seen posts where it says the 2 stage rams aren’t as prone to bending. I know Wully had some professionally fitted and that’s about it. I used to do quite a bit with pneumatics in a past life but don’t recall too much but I do wonder why nobody has tried pneumatic...

I am laughing as I presumed you still have the battery you took out, if you got rid then I will change it to crying

Mine is like a ticking clock but it doesn’t bother me. Rae it works fine connected to the original bigger hot air ducting then? If so I will definitely look at changing mine to the bigger ducting.

Yes cost is the downside, one of my lithium’s was a little more than 4 of those

I do have a B2B and could run from engine but don’t like doing that. Mine is a tn1 sprinter 2.7 turbo so no dpf to worry about but engine needs to be kept above 1200 rpm to be safe. It’s boring day there for a couple of hours holding your foot on the accelerator, I gad to do it year before last...

For me I don’t think it’s worth using anything but road fuel, I already carry a can of petrol for the genny so red or kerosene would be something else to carry. Saying that if I was fitting one now I probably wouldn’t break into the fuel tank so don’t know

My thought are that motorhome manufacturers will fit whatever is the cheapest option for them that gives the biggest profit. Once someone has invested a lot of money in a motorhome they feel obliged to replace with the same in case it affects the resale value. Most folks on here have a different...

I only use gas work cooking but I do prefer a gas hob even in a house. my Lifepo4 100ah batterys Weigh 13kg each, the pair of them weigh the same as 1 of the Bosch 90ah I took out. For me it was cost that stopped me going lithium earlier but I got deal and with VAT exemption it was doable. I...
